Chapter 121 - The Impossible Path

"What kind of women do you like?"

"I like girls who can eat a lot!"

Even though Yuki Tsukumo was a stranger, and even though she hadn't mentioned him when talking to Suguru Geto and Eiji earlier, Yuu Hayama still earnestly and enthusiastically gave his answer.

"Girls who can eat a lot... they'd be chubby, huh? Do you like them a bit plump?"

"Girls with a little meat on them are healthier,"

Yuu Hayama said with a smile, giving a thumbs-up.

"You two, isn't the most important question right now figuring out who this woman is?"

Suguru Geto put his hand to his forehead, speechless.

"You mean her?"

Eiji, sitting between the two, turned to look at Suguru Geto.

"You must have heard of her, Yuki Tsukumo. She's that Special Grade Slacker."

"Slacker... Special Grade Slacker..."

Yuki Tsukumo was instantly struck by lightning.

"Ah, so it's that one..."

Suguru Geto suddenly understood.

Seeing Suguru Geto's expression, Yuki Tsukumo instantly revived and looked at him expectantly.

"She's a Special Grade Sorcerer, but she never takes missions and just wanders around overseas all day, a total bum."

Just like you, Suguru Geto, managing to be infuriating with such natural grace.

Yuki Tsukumo's expression shifted from disbelief to anticipation, then to shattered dreams.

Instantly disliked by two interested juniors, Yuki Tsukumo gave up.

"I really do hate Jujutsu High."

"She's sulking, isn't she?"

At this moment, Yuu Hayama also got up to say goodbye.

Yuu Hayama's intuition told him that Yuki Tsukumo was here to see Suguru Geto and Eiji, so he didn't linger.

"What a cute junior."

Watching Yuu Hayama leave, Yuki Tsukumo regained some of her spirit.

"I think he's a bit too enthusiastic. He should be more wary."

At least don't answer so seriously just because a woman comes up and asks you a question.

Suguru Geto crossed his arms, feeling a little helpless.

Yuki Tsukumo also understood Suguru Geto's implication.

"Then, Mr. Suguru, are you unwilling to answer my question?"

"I haven't considered it."

So he refused. He's really wary of me.

Yuki Tsukumo felt a bit helpless.

"Speaking of which, if you hate Jujutsu High, why did you come here?"

Eiji tossed the empty honey jar into a distant trash can.

"I came to find Satoru Gojo, and to see Toji Fushiguro again."

I see, Eiji understood.

At this time, Yuki Tsukumo was still traveling the world with the goal of eradicating curses.

Toji Fushiguro, with his complete lack of cursed energy and inability to leak negative emotions, was precisely the target Yuki Tsukumo wanted to study.

Yuki Tsukumo's curiosity about Satoru Gojo was probably just that – curiosity. She had left promptly in the original story without seeing him.

"You should call him Toji Fushiguro, otherwise he'll hit you."

Eiji corrected Yuki Tsukumo's address.

"Hm?"

Yuki Tsukumo seemed a little puzzled.

Having been overseas, she wasn't very familiar with the situation in the Island Nation.

In fact, after Toji Fushiguro got married, he had been in seclusion. Therefore, even many in the current Island Nation's Jujutsu World still referred to him as Toji Zenin.

Just like Old Woman Ogami in Shibuya, who used Spirit Summoning and also referred to Toji's surname as Zenin during her summoning.

"Toji left the Zenin family a long time ago. He's Fushiguro now. If you call him Zenin, he'll dislike it."

"I see, I've already gotten useful information as soon as you arrived," Yuki Tsukumo said with a smile, thanking Eiji.

"What are you looking for Toji Fushiguro for?" Suguru Geto pressed.

"Because I want to create a world without Cursed Spirits," Yuki Tsukumo's expression instantly turned serious and earnest.

"Huh?" Suguru Geto's eyes widened in surprise.

"Let me teach you a lesson, what is the true nature of Cursed Spirits?" Yuki Tsukumo seriously asked Suguru Geto.

"Things that gradually accumulate from the overflow of human negative emotions."

"Correct. Based on that premise, there are two ways to create a world without Cursed Spirits." Yuki Tsukumo held up two fingers.

"One is to eliminate human Cursed Energy, and the other is to have all humans master Cursed Energy and become Jujutsu Sorcerers."

"However, I think the first method is better, because there's a risk of Jujutsu Sorcerers transforming into Cursed Spirits if they aren't properly handled after death."

"Moreover, there's already a prime example for the first method." Yuki Tsukumo looked earnestly at Suguru Geto.

"Toji Fushiguro? Heavenly Restriction..." Suguru Geto was completely captivated by Yuki Tsukumo's words.

Since Toji Fushiguro hadn't fought Suguru Geto during this Star Plasma Vessel incident, and Riko Amanai was currently living safely abroad, Suguru Geto's attitude towards Toji Fushiguro was still quite friendly.

Furthermore, Suguru Geto felt a sliver of fondness for this person who always lay around daydreaming and sunbathing, but could immediately engage in physical combat training whenever needed.

After all, there were very few people who could spar with him purely through physical combat these days.

Especially after Satoru Gojo became increasingly busy.

"That's right, Toji Fushiguro," Yuki Tsukumo nodded, her gaze seeming to look through the wall into the distance.

"Heavenly Restriction isn't uncommon in this world. I've seen many whose Cursed Energy is suppressed to normal human levels by Heavenly Restriction, but someone with completely zero Cursed Energy can only be found by searching the entire world. He's the only one."

"And Toji Fushiguro's uniqueness doesn't stop there. Despite having zero Cursed Energy, he can perceive Cursed Spirits with his five senses."

"By completely abandoning Cursed Energy, he elevates his physical body to a higher realm."

"A powerful body, extremely high resistance to curses, he is a true superhuman and the ideal specimen for me."

Yuki Tsukumo painted a picture of the world she desired.

Relying on something akin to Heavenly Restriction to completely channel Cursed Energy into strengthening the body.

This way, ordinary people's Cursed Energy would no longer overflow and form Cursed Spirits that harm humanity, and it could even be used to benefit ordinary people.

If it could succeed... Suguru Geto began to ponder the feasibility of Yuki Tsukumo's plan in his mind.

"It won't work."

"Eh?"

Eiji's words drew the attention of both Yuki Tsukumo and Suguru Geto towards him.

"What scale of Heavenly Restriction do you think would be needed to cover all of humanity?"

"Indeed, it would require an incredibly vast scale." Yuki Tsukumo also admitted this point.

The entire world, what a colossal concept that was.

"Moreover, Heavenly Restriction originates from the Cursed Energy system. However, existences like Toji Fushiguro have broken free from the judgment of the Cursed Energy system; none of their actions can be bound by it."

"Power originating from the Cursed Energy system yet unable to be bound by it, do you think such contradictory existences can appear in large numbers?"

"And in a sense, your approach would overturn the existing Cursed Energy system. Even if you had the ability to do it, this Jujutsu World wouldn't allow you to."

"To be an enemy of the world..."

"There will always be a way." Yuki Tsukumo leaned back in her chair.
